Announcing Prix Fixe Dinners at Pintxo!

Starting today, Pintxo will be adding a prix fixe dinner option to the menu.  To spread the word, we have joined forces with Tippr to bring you a very special two-for one Prix Fixe dinner deal!  That is two full dinners for $25, and if the deal “tips”, we’ll even throw in dessert for two!  As an added bonus, you can use one Tippr per every two diners in your party.

The Prix Fixe dinner will start with a Pintxo Platter for two – a selection of lamb meatballs, bacon-wrapped dates, tortilla espanola, marinated olives and a chef’s choice. Follow that up with a meat and cheese plate for two, featuring an 18-month aged imported Serrano ham served with artisan bread and a rotating selection of cheese. For your entrée, choose from one of our three daily specials.

Some examples of past specials include Rabbit Confit with Roasted Tomato, Pork Loin in Orange Sauce, Squid with a Sherry/Almond Sauce, Paella Valenciana (for 2), Pan Seared Cod with Salsa Verde, Monkfish with Leeks and Pancetta, and Trout Navarre style.

Prix Fixe dinner options are subject to change, as our menu changes often due to availability of fresh, locally sourced ingredients.  The Tippr deal is available to purchase through tonight, September 27, 2010, at 11:59pm.

Pintxo’s Getting a Makeover!

Pintxo Paint

If you have stopped by Pintxo this week, you might have noticed some changes. With the changing of the seasons, we thought it might be a good time to give Pintxo the upgrade we’ve envisioned!

While we have been working very hard after closing (like painting until 4am!,) we realized that a few daylight hours are needed to put the finishing touches on Pintxo’s makeover. So, tomorrow, Monday, September 20, we will be closed for the rest of our remodel. If you pass by, wave, as we’ll be here cleaning, painting, sprucing up and rearranging!

We will reopen Tuesday, September 21 at 4pm for regular service and hope to see you then!!

Labor Day Specials

null Bumbershoot

Can you believe it’s already September and Labor Day weekend is upon us?  It is the last holiday we’ll see for awhile and the unofficial end of summer. Luckily for Seattlites, this three day weekend is packed with fun activities throughout the city. The Pintxo staff is especially excited for both Bumbershoot & the Penny Arcade Expo, both of which are happening through the weekend.

With our central Belltown location, Pintxo is an easy walk or bus ride from either event. Stop by before, after or take a quick break during and enjoy the Labor Day specials!

PAX Special: Show your server your PAX ticket stub and receive all day happy hour prices on Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Bumbershoot Special: Show your server your Bumbershoot ticket stub and receive all day happy hour prices on Friday, Saturday and Sunday

Foursquare Special: Check into Foursquare and unlock the limited time only Labor Day weekend special.

We should note, Pintxo will be closed on Monday, September 6 in observance of Labor Day, and, well, to enjoy day three of Bumbershoot!

Goose Island Matilda Draft – Now just $5

Matilda
If you have yet to try Goose Island’s famous Belgian Style Pale Ale, now is your chance. For a limited time, Pintxo is offering Matilda draft at just $5.

From Goose Island Brewery’s website:

Wild in character, with a slightly fruity aroma and a spicy yeast flavor that is as unique as it is satisfying – Matilda is an intriguing choice for beer and wine lovers alike. Dry and quenching, it’s the perfect accompaniment at the dining table or for casually socializing at the bar.

Goose Island’s Matilda pairs wonderfully with mussels, pork belly and braised oxtail – all of which make regular appearances on the Specials Chalkboard here at Pintxo. Since it contains 7% alcohol by volume, Matilda is served in a 12 ounce wide mouth glass for optimum taste.

We’d love to know what you think of Matilda and if you love it as much as we do. Leave us a comment here or on Facebook or Twitter!
